An unsuccessful writer and an inveterate alcoholic, Boris Alikhanov is running out of money and has recently divorced from his wife Tatyana, who intends to emigrate to the West with their daughter Masha. The prospect of a summer job as a tourist guide at the Pushkin Hills preserve offers him hope of bringing back some balance into his existence, but during his stay in the rural estate of Mikhaylovskoye, Alikhanov's life continues to unravel.

Born to an Armenian mother and a Jewish father, Sergei Dovlatov (1941 - 90) grew up in Leningrad. Because of his writings, which he could not publish in Russia, he was persecuted by the authorities, and ultimately forced into exile in the US, where he developed his talent as a comic writer. Since his death in 1990, Dovlatov has become one of the most popular and widely read authors in Russia.

Reviews for Pushkin Hills: First English Translation

'One wishes that he'd lived longer, been published sooner, given us more.' Francine Prose 'A desperately hilarious, flippantly tragic gem. Read it--and weep. And laugh. But read it' A.D. Miller
